Share your wins—you deserve to celebrate!

One theme I have commonly spiraled on is triggering me again and I am slightly spiraling, but a lot less than normal. I am functioning better than I normally would despite the trigger, though I am still doing some compulsions. Its not great but its better than it has been so im counting that as a win because this has been a very triggering topic for me in the past.

I finished High School! Something that felt impossible when I first started treatment! ❤️🎓

I guess I would have to say that even though I felt physically crummy yesterday I did not give into any compulsions.

Used the gym and practiced acceptance 🙌

It feels good to continue being consistent with spending time with God and not avoiding (fostering scrupulosity)! Also, I had the awareness this week to notice ocd showing up in obsessions with body image, weight, and eating habits. It’s annoying to see it latch onto something different but I’m also thankful I have the awareness and courage to tell my therapist.

I am proud to say that I've been doing a better job of simply observing OCD instead of interacting with it. I've been functioning a lot better than I used to. I have also begun appreciating things more and more. I have been doing less physical compulsions, too. It's such a good feeling and I hope it continues! 😌

i did 6 striders at track practice for the first time today !! and i submitted two missing assignments which gets me closer to fixing my current E’s in school !

Although I am not CURED of trichotillomania, as my own hair is its own trigger, I am down another week with zero hair-pulling out of the root. I think I’m over a year with zero hair pulling. I’m actually going on over a year of zero hair pulling.

I had a tough three months while I changed medication but it did not go well. I was on a Trycyclic for 30 years and thought I would try a SSRI. I am back on my on my original medication and feeling much better.

I am not giving into compulsions as much and I have become more flexible in my thinking. I took my last dose of Abilify today. Will be adding Wellbutrin to my Zoloft in two weeks. Am on the lease amount of meds I’ve been on in 6 years.

I gave myself grace and understanding towards my physical disabilities, something my OCD doesn’t want me to do. It’s okay that I am hurting and struggling, I’m not supposed to be able to do everything an able bodied person is

I had a rough night the other night but I was able to turn it abound last night

I was able to catch myself when beating myself up stuck in guilt and regret compulsions, use erps and self compassion which led to taking a 2nd shower in the week! Something I haven’t been able to do in years!
